Summary
Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.
In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.
Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.
But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.

Summary
Jungkook turned towards the kitchen - and walked straight into the icy glare of Min Yoongi.
“Are you always this late?”
Jungkook tried to bite his tongue. “I was talking to – ”
“I don’t care who you were talking to,” Yoongi snapped. He had both arms crossed firmly over his chest as he continued to berate Jungkook in front of the rest of the staff. “How am I supposed to trust you to get my food out on time if you can’t follow a simple direction that I gave less than five minutes ago?”
Jungkook stared at his feet. “It won’t happen again, chef.”
“Better fucking not.”
-----
Jungkook always dreamed of becoming a chef in the future. When Yoongi, a culinary genius with unusual social skills, shows up in the kitchen of Gusto d'Italia, Jungkook becomes awestruck.

Summary
Zuko’s thirteen and regretting ever having been born.
It really would have been better if Ozai had just tossed him over the wall. Ozai and Azula would be thrilled and Zuko wouldn’t have to deal with the disaster that his life is turning out to be. Maybe Ursa would have gotten to fuck off to who knows where earlier and have escaped this train wreck long ago.
.....
Follows Zuko over the years.

Summary
“Tell me this, Dinah,” Oliver Queen starts, his voice dropping low and Helena unconsciously leans in as if it’ll help her hear better over their comms. “What are you doing at a fancy party like this?”
“Just because I’m not on your arm anymore doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy a dress up every once in a while,” Dinah says in that syrupy tone that Helena usually loves so much, but the confirmation that this Oliver she’s talking to is the same Oliver that Dinah had dated for over a year keeps her from enjoying the wonderful melody of Dinah’s voice.
or, the one where Oliver Queen shows up and makes Helena see green

Summary
Surviving the massacre of your entire family at the age of eight is a pretty impressive feat. Training for fifteen years in Sicily until you can kill a man with one hand and a hairpin is also a pretty impressive feat. Returning to the city where your family was cut down and killing every single person involved in their deaths is maybe the most impressive feat. Somehow, it's never been enough for Helena.
